By providing our skin with the right dose of collagen, we naturally care for its regeneration and hydration. Let’s use collagen together with creams used on a daily basis.
Collagen in our body, as a connective tissue protein, is the main component of tendons. So it is very resistant to stretching and is responsible for the elasticity of our skin. When there is a loss of collagen from our skin, wrinkles appear. In addition, it is responsible for maintaining an appropriate level of hydration, while effectively smoothing the skin, giving it a silky appearance. That is why collagen is so eagerly used in plastic surgery. With its help, the skin regenerates faster, especially after burns and bone reconstruction. It will also be an important element as a skin filler when eliminating wrinkles and preventing the aging process of the skin, and its greatest advantage is …. hypoallergenic. This valuable ability of collagen makes it a component of many cosmetics, and any allergic reaction when using it is practically close to zero.
Collagen with elastin
However, collagen does not work alone. Combined with elastin (these are the two basic connective tissue proteins of the skin) creates the right moisture as well as elasticity and elasticity of the skin. Unfortunately, with age (after the age of 25), the production of elastin in our body decreases drastically, and by the age of 50, its reserves in the skin also disappear, as a result of which the skin loses firmness, hydration and wrinkles form. Therefore, women should think about using collagen and elastin at a young age. The combination of collagen and elastin in skin care cosmetics has a regenerating and rejuvenating effect, restores freshness, smoothness and elasticity. It perfectly smoothes wrinkles. It creates the so-called “thin film” on the skin protecting against the adverse effects of the environment, “bags” under the eyes disappear, eliminates skin discoloration and even eliminates cellulite and stretch marks.
Preparation/use
Collagen is also available in its natural form as a cream and pills. Shell we apply collagen with elastin directly to the skin (after dilution with water to a concentration of 20%), preferably just before applying the cream or lotion or just add to your favorite cream, lotion, olive itp. (keeping the concentration to 10-20%). After opening the package, it is best to store it in the refrigerator, bring it to room temperature before use. Mix with creams at a temperature of up to 34 degrees. A mixture of collagen and elastin with argan or jojoba oil brings great results.
